CDC DIALYSISUNIT GUIDANCE

DIALYSIS PATIENTS PLEASE NOTE: If you think the hurricane is coming in a few days, optimally try to get out of its path - evacuate to another city.
Immediately after a hurricane, many of the roads to dialysis units may be flooded, possibly preventing you from receiving your treatment. Please restrict your fluids. Avoid foods containing potassium or salt. Call your dialysis unit hotlines for information regarding the status of your unit. Do not attempt to drive into water on roads. Turn around. Make sure you have all the information about your dialysis, your doctor, your unit with you if you need to dialyze in a different unit.
